How Did Schwartz Miss?

Noah Schwartz runs bad this hand.
Noah Schwartz runs bad this hand.
The chips were all in preflop between short-stacked Noah Schwartz and his slightly shorter-stacked opponent. "I don't have much," said Schwartz as he opened {A-Clubs} {8-Spades}. His opponent showed {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}.

There were some murmurings from the table on a flop of {j-Spades} {q-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. Those murmurings grew louder when the turn paired the board, {J-Hearts}.

"Now that's a sweat card," remarked Tony Dunst.

With Schwartz's opponent cringing, the dealer burned and turned a blank river, {7-Diamonds}. Schwartz was forced to pay of 15,500, leaving just 3,000 in his stack.

"Any card eight or higher except a jack," said Schwartz. "So sick."
